While I’m not a huge animation junkie, Shane Acker’s 9 looks pretty amazing. It’s got Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov behind it, an awesome voice cast (Elijah Wood, John C. Reilly, Jennifer Connelly, Martin Landau, Christopher Plummer and Crispin Glover), and just a really weird and creepy vibe that you certainly don’t see in animated films. At least, not enough…
We’ve got some sneak peeks for your viewing pleaser, check ’em all out below. 9 opens on September 9th.
When 9 first comes to life, he finds himself in a post-apocalyptic world where all humans are gone, and it is only by chance that he discovers a small community of others like him taking refuge from fearsome machines that roam the earth intent on their extinction. Despite being the neophyte of the group, 9 convinces the others that hiding will do them no good. They must take the offensive if they are to survive, and they must discover why the machines want to destroy them in the first place. As they’ll soon come to learn, the very future of civilization may depend on them.
